That's false equivalency. Equating a book to a single long page is just plain wrong. Long-form has always required pagination. This was true even with physical scrolls back in the day. If you inspect the book that is linked above it is

You're limiting the scope of ppi to desktops only? Almost ~80% of the web is on mobile [1][2][3]. Close to 56% people online are "mobile only", which means that they will never look at anything other than a hdpi screen in the

Likely! The data that I relied on for my research last year covered the North American and European regions and that automatically skews in favor of modern displays. Thankfully with Windows too, the lo-dpi market is shrinking. But I'm

hmm. It magically becomes very useful if you were to actually read the book and not just flip through capriciously.

Ugh. This is an outdated article. Modern day displays are crisp enough to render sophisticated serif typefaces. For example, this book [1] on the web uses EB Garamond [2] to present the content: [1] https://bubblin.io/book&#

You mean illiteracy? Thank you for trying to turn it into something positive with great words though.

I hadn't heard of the term 'chiropractors' until our family moved into the suburban parts of the US. The other fancy shops that surprised me by their existence were these healing crystal stores and astrologers and whatnot. Ew

Coincidentally, AWS hasn't open-sourced anything that they use internally. Zilch. Nada. And yet they are using 'open source' developed by another firm (smaller is inconsequential here) to market themselves. IMO, FOSS licensin

Besides, what in the digital realm is not skeuomorphism to begin with? Every single item in the digital world down to a pixel (off of the `pt` points system) we see online is skeuomorphic inspiration off of something! Typesetting and the al

I know, counter-intuitive it was for me too! Professor Michael Young, Michael Rosbash and Jeffrey C. Hall won a Nobel Prize for research in this area in 2017. [1] https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/medicine/2017&#x2

e-ink screens are objectively worse for our eyes than an IPS panel screen. I mean, this is besides the fact that e-paper screens are also more expensive and less capable than the standard iridescent screen that we spend 24 hours on daily.

> ...for the convenience of having one small device rather than shelves of paper. Yeah, that’s why people moved away from cassettes to Youtube. I have a lot of friends who gave their Kindles away and are back into paperbacks and/or

Yeah, you’re an exception. The market is still massively into paperbacks though, despite the cheapness of files.

Nice tool but ack!, yet another this file format to that file format conversion tool. A book is not a file. It never will be. I know half the unixy nutcases won't agree with anything normal but in reality the world will continue to buy

This is an excellent post. I wrote about the new landscape of the web [1] a few weeks ago and how responsive web design is a complete failure in addressing that. There are so many fallacies! 1. Tablet != mobile. 2. Mobile != Watch. 3. Deskt

Somewhat. However, their manuscript → markdown export has issues. I have seen people struggling with the flavor of its markdown a bit as well. OP has a great solution that focuses on markdown alone. And that's a welcome change!

I’d dump pretty much every VC into the bucket of ghosters as well. And then, you know, from there you get all the trickle-down economics.
